PATRON TIER LIST - VOY S2E9 - Tattoo

Racist, in a really insidious way, crap. Erase.

Someone gave this S tier? Robert Beltran must be a Patron

I actually enjoy this fictional take on alien influence of Natives as they navigate through the American continent. Does it diminish the struggles and achievements of Natives as they migrate south to settle the Western Hemisphere? Possibly. Perhaps this episode belongs in a Star Trek version of “What If…”, and not considered as Prime-timeline canon. Somewhere people could still watch and enjoy the episode for what it is, a “What If…” scenario. 🖖

Chakotay's consummate communication chops: "Chamozi". Crisis contained.

Akoocheemoya, motherfuckers. S

Somewhere between D and E for me.

Only reasons this is a C to me is the connection back to the TNG episode of the native inhabitants refusing to leave their planet and ignoring the Cardassian treaty with the Chakotay backstory, and the Kes/Doctor storyline which is always funny no matter how many times I see the scenes. But only just barely a C 🫠😅😂

I don't like it when i have to give an E, but sometimes it's the only option. This is only my second E so far for Voyager, the first was Heroes And Demons.

"Awesome, a Chakotay episode!" ~ No one ever.

Doctor's flu saves it from E tier. Somehow this gets a D. I always forget the doctor's plot exists, so it's an E in my head until I rewatch and have to give Doc and Kes some props.

Doctor/Kes B plot saves this from being an E tier. Barely. Its just such a dull nothing episode.

Definitely one of those "What were they thinking?" episodes. Right up there with "Code of Honor". I rarely give anything an "E", but this one should never have seen the light of day. Move the Doctor's "self-inflicted flu" story to any other episode and scrap the rest

Boring episode. Only saving grace is the Doctor giving himself a flu and Kes trolling him by extending it.

One of the few episodes I skip when showing friends this season, and just give a 2min verbal summary

Alright episode I guess
